People who have built on flood plains, the sides of earthen hills and mountains, in the US tornado ridden plains and on the beaches have *always* eventually been fucked.

Posting on /. with a computer made of rare earth, poisonous materials mined by hand by third world humans being paid a subsistence living. What more do you expect of him?

Hyperbole and error combined.

Actually, it's a guess from a very incomplete skeleton - skull fragments, a few vertebra and a femur. If, and it's an if, the hind legs were longer, other explanations can be found. However, "walked on hind legs" is sexier. no more.

My wife was given a ticket. She was traveling the highway with a cluster of other cars. When she asked why she was singled out the officer said "You ever go fishing? You ever catch every fish in the pond?" No, moving with the traffic won't do you any good. Trying to debate your way out will do you ill. You were speeding, that's it.

i don't care if we let 1000 murderers out of jail ... before I'll condone putting an innocent man in detention!

I love your sense of balance. /snark Fuck the 1000 murder victims, right?

Not really. Couple of reasons.
Many times psychotic episodes (or looking episodes) are caused by drugs. Three days doesn't seem too long to see if the drug's effects wear off or the episode is "natural".
Also, the holding could be used to see of the patient isn't faking *not* being psychotic after the first day to get out.

Actually, I think mud dauber wasps will be the biggest issue. I've had them completely block a car's air cleaner intake in one summer.

Indeed. I would also add that studying etymology in and of itself gives one a deeper understanding.

DLC = unfinished game

Oh bullshit. Some games have ongoing stories that would mean the game is never "finished", which in turn means it would never be released.

All of them at some point. This was a big one though.

many of them for completely stupid and banal offenses

As opposed to murder, theft, arson, bribery, etc. Hell, you can be rejected now for just having been arrested for possession of pot. I certainly wouldn't want a convicted felon, guilty of robbing a bank, *working* for a bank. They can get another job. It doesn't have to be working with people's money. Good damn reason not to want them doing that. You seem to be purposefully conflating "stupid and banal" with vicious and dangerous.

Same for some Icelandic sagas. Some are immense.

Which he then illustrates by linking to news (reports). It's not true, it's complete bullshit. Actually, that's too soft, it's an outright lie. It would mean that those kids weren't even taken to a hospital or coroner, where gunshot wounds require mandatory reporting.
